Rise so high, yet so far to fall
A plan of dignity and balance for all
Political breakthrough, euphoria's high
More borrowed money, more borrowed timeBacked in a corner, caught up in the race
Means to an end ended in disgrace
Perspective is lost in the spirit of the chaseForeclosure of a dream
Those visions never seen
Until all is lost, personal Holocaust
Foreclosure of a dreamBarren land that once filled a need
Are worthless now, dead without a deed
Slipping away from an iron grip
Nature's scales are forced to tipThe heartland cries, loss of all pride
To leave ain't believing, so try and be tried
Insufficient funds, insanity and suicideForeclosure of a dream
Those visions never seen
Until all is lost, personal holocaust
Foreclosure of a dreamThe congress will push me to raise the taxes
And I'll say, "No, read my lips"
Read my lips, read my lipsNow with new hope some will be proud
This is no hoax, no one pushed out
Receive a reprieve and be a pioneer
Break new ground of a new frontierNew ideas will surely get by
No deed, or dividend, some may ask, "Why?"
You'll find the solution, the answers in the skyRise so high, yet so far to fall
A plan of dignity and balance for all
Political breakthrough, euphoria's high
More borrowed money, more borrowed timeForeclosure of a dream
Those visions never seen
Until all is lost, personal holocaust
Foreclosure of a dreamForeclosure of a dream
Those visions never seen
Until all is lost, personal holocaust
Foreclosure of a dreamHolocaust
